BTW, note this on Sukhoi's website:
"Su" type combat aircraft were supplied to India, China, Iraq, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Germany, Syria, Algeria, Korean Republic, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Yemen, Egypt, Libya, Iran, Angola, Ethiopia, Peru. Total number of more than 2000 "Su" aircraft was supplied to foreign countries on export contracts.
.. In other words, Sukhoi is also supplying to NATO countries.
I assume the Afghan sales were to Russia's proxy army in Afghanistan, i.e., the Northern Alliance.
